SUBSTANCE ABUSE ADOLESCENT BOYS Teen Challenge West Florida's Boys Ranch 1213 Hope Lane, Bonifay, Florida 32425, United States SCHOOL MISSION Our primary goal is to help students grow in their Christian faith through Bible study, retreats, and mission trip opportunities. But more importantly, cadets are encouraged to challenge and encourage each other to live out their faith in everything they do and say. GATEWAY ACADEMY IS DESIGNED FOR STRUGGLING TEENAGE BOYS Once a Christian military school, Gateway is now so much more — it is a life-changing boarding school for boys that builds discipline, respect and leadership. Boys who have gotten off track in life need discipline and they need order. They need to learn a trade and begin to show respect for authority and for their loved ones. And most of all, they need God in their lives.

Web Site: http://christianmilitaryschool.org/ Phone: (850) 547-9011 From its military school roots, Gateway remains regimented, but it now blends a character-enriching and vocational program into a military-like decorum. The boarding school has eliminated the meaningless drills and drill sergeants of typical military schools and boot camps. The year-round boarding school offers positive discipline and life-change in troubled boys, administered by caring and helpful mentors and peers who encourage them to success. The purpose is to help self-destructing and angry teenage boys do a turnaround and begin looking at life differently. Boys are transformed here; given a new purpose, a new drive, and a new passion to be a better person and to serve others. This Christian boarding school with a military school flavor offers vocational and trades training, counseling, competitive team sports, spiritual emphasis and a hands-on missions outreach. These all combine to turn troubled boys into respectful and caring young men with strong goals for the future. GATEWAY COSTS FAR LESS THAN THERAPEUTIC BOARDING SCHOOLS AND WILDERNESS PROGRAMS!

CHILDREN AND FAMILY RESOURCES: FAMILIES FIRST NETWORK OF LAKEVIEW 1221 W. Lakeview Ave Pensacola, FL 32501 HELPING PEOPLE OVERCOME LIFE'S CHALLENGES Ensuring safety, stability, and well-being for children and families. FamiliesFirst Network of Lakeview (FFN) represents a partnership with the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to provide an array of foster care and related services in coordination with network partners. The network includes DCF, Lakeview Center, as the lead agency, judiciary sub-contracted service providers, foster parents, the District One Community Alliance, agency stakeholders, and the community working together to implement the legislative mandate for community based care. Services include case management for out-of-home and in-home placements; foster home recruitment, training, recommendation for licensure, and support; adoption support; independent living program; dependency court resource facilitation; sub-contract management; and other related services to abused and neglected children and their families. FamiliesFirst Network of Lakeview is a program of Lakeview Center. FFN was awarded the contract from the State of Florida Department of Children and Families for community based care of foster care and related services as outlined in Florida Statute 409.1671 on April 1, 2001. FFN's primary goal is to establish safety and permanency and to support the well-being of abused and neglected children in Northwest Florida. It accomplishes this by providing child protective services to families, independent living services for teens and youth who age out of foster care, adoptive services for children in the dependency system, and placing foster children in licensed foster homes and residential facilities. The Department of Children and Families maintains jurisdiction over the reports of Abuse and Neglect through the Florida Abuse Hotline and the investigation of the abuse and neglect allegations in this District. Only the Department can remove a child from the custody of its parents based on the results of the investigation and recommend the child be sheltered. The Dependency Court in each county makes the final decision to remove a child from the custody of its parents and to return the child after services have been provided.

The Hotline receives calls, faxes, and web based reports from citizens and professionals with concerns of abuse, neglect, or exploitation on children and vulnerable adults in Florida. The FSFN - Abuse Reporting Portal assesses the information provided by the concerned person and determines if the information provided meets statutory criteria for the Department of Children and Families to conduct an investigation. More than 1 million children are victims of child abuse and neglect each year. Yet, many of these victims don't receive the help they need because their abuse or neglect isn't reported to the proper authorities to intervene or investigate. These abused and neglected children span all ages, races, religions and socio-economic backgrounds. Child abuse or neglect includes actions or omissions that result in imminent threat of serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or sexual exploitation, or death of a child under age 18 by a parent or other caregiver. When parents can't, don't or won't protect their children, the Department of Children & Families steps in to help:

Frequently Asked Questions: 1. What is abuse? For children: "Abuse" means any willful act or threatened act that results in any physical, mental, or sexual injury or harm that causes or is likely to cause the child's physical, mental, or emotional health to be significantly impaired. Abuse of a child includes acts or omissions. Corporal discipline of a child by a parent or legal custodian for disciplinary purposes does not in itself constitute abuse when it does not result in harm to the child. For adults: "Abuse" means any willful act or threatened act by a relative, caregiver, or household member which causes or is likely to cause significant impairment to a vulnerable adult's physical, mental, or emotional health. Abuse includes acts and omissions. 2. What is neglect? For children: "Neglect" occurs when a child is deprived of, or is allowed to be deprived of, necessary food, clothing, shelter, or medical treatment or a child is permitted to live in an environment when such deprivation or environment causes the child's physical, mental, or emotional health to be significantly impaired or to be in danger of being significantly impaired. For adults: "Neglect" means the failure or omission on the part of the caregiver or vulnerable adult to provide the care, supervision, and services necessary to maintain the physical and mental health of the vulnerable adult, including, but not limited to, food, clothing, medicine, shelter, supervision, and medical services, which a prudent person would consider essential for the well-being of a vulnerable adult. The term "neglect" also means the failure of a caregiver or vulnerable adult to make a reasonable effort to protect a vulnerable adult from abuse, neglect, or exploitation by others. 3. What is exploitation? "Exploitation" means a person who: 1. Stands in a position of trust and confidence with a vulnerable adult and knowingly, by deception or intimidation, obtains or uses, or endeavors to obtain or use, a vulnerable adult's funds, assets, or property with the intent to temporarily or permanently deprive a vulnerable adult of the use, benefit, or possession of the funds, assets, or property for the benefit of someone other than the vulnerable adult; or 2. Knows or should know that the vulnerable adult lacks the capacity to consent, and obtains or uses, or endeavors to obtain or use, the vulnerable adult's funds, assets, or property with the intent to temporarily or permanently deprive the vulnerable adult of the use, benefit, or possession of the funds, assets, or property for the benefit of someone other than the vulnerable adult. 4. Who do you consider a child? A child is an unmarried person who is born, under the age of 18, and who has not been emancipated by order of the court. 5. Who do you consider a vulnerable adult? A vulnerable adult is a person 18 years of age or older whose ability to perform the normal activities of daily living or to provide for his or her own care or protection is impaired due to disability, brain damage, or the infirmities of aging. 6. What should I do if I suspect a child or vulnerable adult is being abused, neglected, or exploited? Everyone, including professionally mandatory reporters, should contact the Florida Abuse Hotline when they know or have reasonable cause to suspect that a child or a vulnerable adult has been abused, abandoned, neglected, or exploited. The Abuse Hotline Counselor will determine if the information provided meets legal requirements to accept a report for investigation. 7. When should I call? Any person, including professionally mandatory reports, should contact the Florida Abuse Hotline when they know or have reasonable cause to suspect that a child or vulnerable adult has been abused, abandoned, neglected, or exploited.

What should I expect when I contact the Hotline? Reporters contacting the Hotline should expect to be asked for the following information: Demographical information of the person's involved in the situation being reported. This includes the names, ages, dates of birth (if known), race, gender, social security number (if known). A means to locate the subjects of the report. Some common means to locate may include, but not be limited to: Home Address Phone number School Name, Address, and Phone Number Parents/Caregivers Work Location, Address, Phone Number Directions to the Home Specifics of the incident being reported. Some common questions asked by the Hotline Counselor include: What happened to the victim? Who caused the harm? What were the affects to the victim? Any known history, frequency, etc. of the same or similar incidents. Hotline counselors accept reports on the basis of specific criteria from Chapter 39 and 415 of the Florida Statutes. Each call acceptance decision is based only on information provided during the call. 10. What kind of information do I need to have ready when I call? Specific descriptions of the incident(s) or the circumstances contributing to the risk of harm, including who was involved, what occurred, when and where it occurred, why it happened, the extent of any injuries sustained, what the victim(s) said happened, and any other pertinent information are very important. Information callers should have ready includes: Name, date of birth (or approximate age), race, and gender, for all adults and children involved. Addresses or another means to locate the subjects of the report, including current location. Information regarding disabilities and/or limitations of the victims (especially for vulnerable adult victims). Relationship of the alleged perpetrator to the child or adult victim(s).

View Statutes related to Confidentiality for Child Reports View Statutes related to Confidentiality for Adult Reports 12. Do I have to give my name? No. You do not have to give your name in order to make a report. Providing your name, however, is helpful in the event a protective investigator needs to ask you more questions or seek clarification about the information you provided to the Hotline Counselor. The names of reporters are held confidential, and under Florida Statutory requirements, should not be released to the individuals the report is about. View Statutes for who has a right to the copy of a report related to child victims View Statues for who has a right to a copy of a report related to adult victims Although every person has a responsibility to report suspected abuse or neglect, some occupations are specified in Florida law as required to do so. These occupations are considered "professionally mandatory reporters". A professionally mandatory reporter of child abuse/neglect is required by Florida Statute to provide his or her name to the Abuse Hotline Counselor when reporting. A professionally mandatory reporter's name is entered into the record of the report, but is held confidential (§ 39.202, F.S. and 415.107, F.S.)

This information is important to know no matter who is reporting or what method they choose to report. If you are unable to obtain some of the information below, you may still call the Hotline and a counselor will assess the information available to see if it meets statutory criteria for the Department of Children and Families to initiate a protective investigation. Be prepared to provide the following information: Reporter name (this is required for professionally mandated reporters). View a list of professionally mandated reporters Download the professionally mandated reporters packet. Victim name, possible responsible person, or alleged perpetrator name(s).

View Statutes for who has a right to the copy of a report related to child victims View Statues for who has a right to a copy of a report related to adult victims 20. Why did the counselor tell me they could not accept my report? The Florida Abuse Hotline is committed to providing a clear understanding of services available to customers whether from the Department of Children and Families or other state and community agencies. Prior to concluding each call, the Hotline counselor is required to inform each caller if a report was accepted or not. When a report is not accepted, the Hotline Counselor may provide appropriate referral information to the caller so their concerns can be addressed by the appropriate entity. 21. What happens with the information I give you if a report is not taken? The Hotline counselor is required to document information for all information received, in the Hotline's system of record database. This database is maintained for all contacts in compliance with Florida Statutes and for quality assurance and training purposes. If the report is not accepted, it may be considered for referral to the county office as a prevention referral. If the information is not sent as a prevention referral, then it is maintained in the Hotline's database. 22. Who do I contact if I want to make a compliment/complaint about the Hotline? At the end of every call, counselors are required to ask reporters if they would be willing to participate in a customer satisfaction survey. You may include your compliments or complaints at the conclusion of each call as part of the survey. If the counselor does not transfer you to the survey or if you would like to speak with someone directly, you may ask to speak to a Hotline Supervisor or Call Center Manager. If the Supervisor or Manager can not resolve your concern, then you may call the Hotline's administrative number 850-487-6100 and ask to speak to the Operations Manager or Director of the Hotline. 23. What kind of education and/or training do the Hotline Counselors have? The minimum education requirement for all Hotline counselors is a Bachelor's degree from an accredited university. A number of Hotline counselors have obtained or are pursuing their Master's degrees. In addition, all Hotline counselors are required to complete a nine week pre-service training prior to taking calls in Hotline's call center. This training includes seven weeks of classroom training and practice, and concludes with a two week service practicum. During the practicum period, trainees are taking live abuse hotline calls, but have a trainer, supervisor, or veteran counselor with them to assist and review their decisions and reports. On-going in-service training is conducted annually with all Hotline Counselors. 24. What if I don't have an address for the victim(s)? If you do not have an address, please go ahead and call the hotline and provide the information you do have. While we do need to have a means to locate the subject of an abuse report, there are many other ways we can locate them. Addresses are the best means to locate, but we can also use phone numbers, school names and locations, parent/caregiver work location, Florida tag numbers, directions to the home, and many others. Gather as much information as you can, and when you call the Abuse Hotline, the Counselor will make a determination based on the information you have available at the time of the call. 25. What if they find out I called in a report on them? All reporters' information is confidential. The name of any person reporting child abuse, neglect or abandonment, may not be released to any person other than those allowed to have access to this information according to Florida Statute. View Statutes related to Confidentiality for Child Reports View Statutes related to Confidentiality for Adult Reports If you believe someone you made a report about has obtained reporter information inappropriately, then please contact the county protective investigations office where the investigation is being handled and ask to speak to a Protective Investigations Supervisor or you may contact the Client Relations Coordinator in your county. 26. Who has access to the reporter's information? Access to reporter information is available to those professionals directly involved in child or adult protective investigations. A list of those individuals with access to this information can be found in Chapter 39 and Chapter 415 of the Florida Statutes. View Statutes related to Confidentiality for Child Reports View Statutes related to Confidentiality for Adult Reports 27. I called in a report last week, and the investigator told them my name, what can I do? If you believe someone you made a report about has obtained reporter information inappropriately, then please contact the county protective investigations office where the investigation is being handled and ask to speak to a Protective Investigations Supervisor or you may contact the Client Relations Coordinator in your county to file a complaint. 28. What happens after the Hotline accepts a report from the information I provided? The Hotline counselor sends a typed report of the allegations to the local investigation County office where the victim is located. After the report is sent to the local office the report is assigned to a Child Protective Investigator (CPI) or Adult Protective Investigator (API). The CPI/API is then responsible for conducting an investigation on the allegations that meet statutory criteria for the Department of Children and Families to investigate. 29. How soon does DCF respond to the home? The Department of Children and Families makes every effort to act with a sense of urgency to all allegations of harm to children and/or vulnerable adults. The Florida Abuse Hotline strives to submit all reports to the appropriate investigative office within one hour after the call to the Hotline ends. Once the report arrives at the investigative office and is assigned to an investigator, the investigator has up to 24 hours to initiate contact with the subjects of the report. In situations in which it is believed the victim is at imminent risk of harm, the investigator will respond as soon as possible. 30. How old does a child have to be to be left home alone? Chapter 39 of the Florida Statutes (F.S.) mandates that the Hotline be contacted when any person who knows, or has reasonable cause to suspect, that a child of any age is being left home alone without adult supervision or arrangements appropriate for the child's age or mental or physical condition, so that the child is unable to care for the child's own needs or another's basic needs or is unable to exercise good judgment in responding to any kind of physical or emotional crisis. The Hotline Counselor will assess the information provided in the call and make a determination of report acceptance or non-acceptance based on statutory criteria. 31. Is a child not wearing a seat belt considered abuse or neglect? Generally, the use of child safety restraints would be within the jurisdiction of law enforcement to investigate, rather than the Department of Children and Families. There are situations, however, in which DCF would become involved in these investigations. Therefore, we encourage callers to contact the Abuse Hotline when they have concerns and allow a Hotline Counselor to make the determination as to whether an incident meets the statutory criteria for acceptance of a report. These calls will be handled on a case by case review of the facts presented in the call. Law enforcement should also be contacted for concerns involving child safety restraints. 32. Who do I contact if I have a complaint about the way an investigation was handled? The best practice is to contact Department of Children and Families adult or child protective investigative office in the county where the investigation occurred. In addition, investigative complaints can be processed through our Client Relations Coordinator. 33. How can I get a copy of the report made against me? Any person with a statutory right to a copy of a report must contact the local Department of Children and Families child or adult investigative office in the county where the investigation occurred. View Statutes for who has a right to the copy of a report related to child victims View Statues for who has a right to a copy of a report related to adult victims 34. How can I get a copy of the report that I made? Florida Statutes determine who is entitled to a copy of a report of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a child or vulnerable adult. If you meet the statutory criteria for who is entitled to a copy of the abuse report, then you can receive a copy by contacting the Department of Children and Families child or adult investigative office in the county where the investigation occurred. View Statutes for who has a right to the copy of a report related to child victims View Statues for who has a right to a copy of a report related to adult victims 35. I made a report, why didn't anyone contact me? The reporter may or may not be contacted by the protective investigator handling the case. If you have not been contacted and wish to speak to the investigator handling the case you reported, then you should contact the local protective investigations office. 36. Will the children be removed from the home? This decision determined by a dependency court judge based on the identified risks to the children's well-being. The department's mission is to ensure the children are in a safe environment. 37. Will the children go straight into foster care? When placement is needed for a child at risk of harm, the Department makes every effort to arrange for appropriate and safe placement for the child(ren). These decisions are made on a case by case basis. In some cases, the children can be placed with approved relatives or other individuals the child may know personally, in other cases, the child(ren) may be placed in foster care. For further questions related to the process of placement selection, please contact your local Department of Children and Families, Child Protection Office.

Email: [email protected] Web Site: http://www.rmhc.org/ Phone: (850) 477-2273 Fax: 850.477.7607 Hours: Open daily · 8AM-7PM Many families travel far from home and spend several weeks or months to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children - a long time to be away or to divide a family. And, for children facing a serious medical crisis, nothing seems scarier than not having mom and dad close by for love and support. A Ronald McDonald House is that "home-away-from-home" for families so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little or no cost. Our Houses are built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on the health of their child - not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest. We believe that when a child is hospitalized the love and support of family is as powerful as the strongest medicine prescribed. Allow Families to Face the Weight of Illness Together Families are stronger when they are together, which helps in the healing process. By staying at a Ronald McDonald House, parents also can better communicate with their child's medical team and keep up with complicated treatment plans when needed. They can also focus on the health of their child, rather than grocery shopping, cleaning or cooking meals.

BETHANY CHRISTIAN SERVICES PREGNANCY SUPPORT FOSTER/ADOPTION FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POST ADOPTION SUPPORT Since 1944, we have worked to bring and keep families together through our services in many countries. These services include sponsorship, foster care, family support, and adoption. We believe that the family is the best place for children to grow and these services have been designed to allow children to stay in their home country, with a local family whenever possible. Safe Families for Children is not Foster Care or Adoption Safe Families for Children is an alternative to foster care. In foster care, children are placed into homes through the courts and foster families receive compensation for their care. Through SFFC, host families receive no compensation for caring for children, and parents voluntarily have their children stay with them. The goal of the SFFC ministry is to offer support in a time of need and reunite children with their families in a stronger home environment. This temporary care for children in need gives parents time to establish stability in their homes. Parents Remain Involved: Parents are actively involved in their children's lives and will develop a relationship with the host family. Because Safe Families for Children is not foster care, the children are not placed in the care of the State. Bethany staff work with the parents during this transition to identify steps to regain stability and be reunited with their children quickly and safely. Parents voluntarily have their children live with a host family because of any number of challenges they are facing, such as: Sudden unemployment or loss of housing Financial difficulties Postpartum depression Acute illness or hospitalization Financial instability Domestic violence Drug or alcohol addiction Incarceration of one parent

Underage Alcohol Use Dangers Youth who drink are more likely to develop alcohol dependency than adults, become victims of violent crimes, become sexually involved at an early age, and use illegal drugs. 51.2% of high school students in Escambia County and 54.7% in Santa Rosa County reported using alcohol in their lifetime. Internet Safety and Bullying 71% of teens report receiving messages from someone online that they didn't know, and 45% have been asked personal information from someone that they didn't know. Bullying is not solicited by the victim and creates an imbalance in power between the bully and the victim. Prescription Drugs The misuse and abuse of prescription drugs has become a growing problem in our local area. Prescription drugs are the number one reason people in Florida enter treatment facilities and they are the number one drug related to deaths in Florida. Marijuana 30.2% of high school students in Escambia County and 32.9% in Santa Rosa County reported using marijuana or hashish in their lifetime.
